R32 GTR radiator size question

[Midnight Racer]

how about r32 gtr radiator size??

can i use r33 gtr radiator in r32??

thanks

r32 gtr radiator is still single row also not much thicker, flows a little better apparently (than gts).

r33 radiators (both) are a bit taller not sure if they will fit, they wouldnt fit in my 180 but r32 gtr one did (also r32 gts fits)

i reckon forget all these as they are not much of an upgrade anyway, maybe get an aftermarket one - you definately need a new radiator?

My R32 GTS-T radiator is a 2core.

My understanding is the GTR radiator is the same.

Only the Silvia's got the single core.

[boj01]

Yeah R32 GTST and GTR radiators are the same

[inissane]

hmmmm, I have a r32 gtr radiator and a r33 gts radiator in the driveway and both are single row

It is one complete attached core but contains 2 rows.

Have a good look, either that or you've been ripped.

Grab one of the 40mm or 57mm PWR radiators in the group buy section

I will be when some money comes along... car could only do 4 laps of Sandown before I had to cool it off with the factory radiator

[Cubes]

What temps did you see at the end of the 4 laps Ronin?

What temps did you see at the end of the 4 laps Ronin?

erm... 115 degrees!

[Cubes]

Oh...

Would have looked scary on the stock guage.

Wow better check it out, i did 4 laps at Phillip Island and a break then 4 laps after that and it only gets to 84.

Don't know if you have an oil cooler or not but a while ago my Gtr heat up a bit me and Troy ( YLWGTR ) went through so much trouble finding out why at the end i take the radiator out sent it to Highway radiator to pull the top tank out, they found out i have up to 75% blockage. Only stupid thing that they did were when i got my radiator back they sprayed it all Black.

Get it check out Marcus.

not sure of exact terminology in terms of row or core, however I know when you take the cap off the radiators and look in there, on both items there is one thick tube and i would expect it to be the same all the way to the bottom of the radiators. The r33 one is stock in a r33 for sure and 99% sure the other is gtr, but hey maybe there isnt any or much diff between r32 gts/gtr ones.

ofcourse they are one overall core unit but how are they 2 row??

[boj01]

Yeah apparantly your not supposed to spray alloy radiators black, only copper types.

Thanks for the warning, I know it's not good. I've got an oil cooler as well, and on the street the water temp never gets higher than 90.

Also note that Sunday was 30+ degrees at Sandown, and also PI affords much more cooling air to the radiator as it is faster

Will invest in a 40mm one when the funds allow!

Stock gauges are crap! didn't actually move much past middle :confused:

I've got a Defi water temp gauge and it was beeping and flashing it's little brains out (and the temps matched the PFC temps)
